The graphics look hideously painful even against the original games... but the gameplay ideas behind it are definitely LookingGlass era cool!!

i before e except after c
First 3 were great but they killed the franchise with this 2010 game, was nowhere near as good.
I don't think anyone has managed to replicate Looking Glass' creepy atmospheres. The graphics were never amazing, but the sound and map design was top notch.

It's pixel art, stylistic choice.
Gloomwood did imo
Gloomwood on Steam
Trapped in a dark, Victorian city consumed by an ancient curse, you must plan your survival and daring escape using nothing but stealth, an arsenal of eccentric weapons, and your wit in this haunting adventure inspired by the immersive sims and survival horror greats of the late 90s and early 2000s.

Gloomwood is brilliant and has a very dedicated albeit small dev team behind it.
I'm a huge, huge fan of Looking Glass games, especially the Thief series and it's by far the closest thing I've ever come across to the first two games.
I could get away with the graphics tbh, it's how horrendously slow and janky the speed of aiming/looking around seems to be because that absolutely was not the case in the old games.
Maybe it's someone using a controller instead of M&K?
Thief 2 still looks amazing btw with a little fiddling and modding, doesn't take long and you can even get it running in ultrawide:
The above is taken from my last playthrough, easily one of my favourite games of all time.

Yea the texturing in Thief was always pretty good. They just don't use many polygons
